Referenced in J Neurosci as URL. To investigate whether P2rx7 inhibition prevented photoreceptor toxicity of C57BL/6J-Mononucelar phagocytes (MPs), we submitted C57BL/6J and P2rx7-/- mice to experimental retinal detachment, where subretinal C57BL/6J-MPs have been shown to participate in photoreceptor degeneration (Nakazawa et al., 2007). C57BL/6J and P2rx7-/- mice exhibit similar subretinal MP accumulation but showed no difference in the number of TUNEL positive photoreceptor cells under these conditions.
